THE RECTOR’S
WELCOME
Prof. Alessandro Ruggieri
Rector of the University of Tuscia
T
his guide has been thought
and designed in collaboration with the students and
it represents a useful tool to
orientate in the University
world and to fully grasp all the opportunities available in our University.
Clearly and straightforwardly this Guide
provides you with the information on
all the services offered by our University, and among them, those available
online: enrollment/inscription, consultation of administrative and university career, management of the study
plan, exam booking, digital certificates,
teaching material and evaluation of the
teaching, besides the wifi coverage and
the institutional mail.
These pages will also offer you the
general description of the teaching activities and how they are organized, the
main research line of the Departments
and all the useful information to enroll
in our degree courses. Moreover, you
will be informed about the procedures
to obtain grants, to study abroad (with
the Erasmus+ programme) and to use
our sport center (CUS) and study facilities (libraries).
You will also discover the story of the
historical buildings that host our University, the beauty and richness of our
botanic garden, the peculiarity of our
research centers and the different supporting specialized services (counseling, disability, ombudsman).
Finally you will find contacts details
useful during your stay and, after graduation, to support you in the delicate step
of entering the job market.
For details about departments, please
refer to the Guides of each single Department which are specifically focused
on the teaching activities.
My best wishes to you all for a fully
satisfying study period.

STUDENT GUIDE 2015 / 2016
VITERBO
AS UNITUS
A
t the center of the ancient
region of Tuscia, Viterbo
is the northernmost of the
Lazio provinces. Located
about 100 km from Rome
and just over 200 from Florence, the
town is placed at the foot of the Cimini
mountains, surrounded by the lakes Vico
and Bolsena, at short distance from the
Tyrrhenian Sea. Its size and location have
contributed to preserve the city’s typical
medieval Italian character, now enriched
by modern services.
The University of Tuscia was then founded in this context in 1979; since then it has
quickly developed becoming the cultural
center of Viterbo’s province, promoting
yearly a course offer capable of responding to education needs of local, commuters and students coming from the surrounding area. The synergy between the
7
University and the local institutions has
allowed four university centers to grow;
some of them are located in the historical city center and result from a remarkable monument recovery campaign, such
as the Church of San Carlo, the Church
of Santa Maria del Paradiso and the Dominican convent of Santa Maria in Gradi,
which houses the Rector and the central
offices. The University structures are
enriched by the branch offices of Cittaducale (RI) and Civitavecchia (RM).
The education activities are managed
by seven Departments which offer 15
undergraduate programs, 14 *master degree courses and 2 single-cycle courses.
They provide study courses suitable to
face the job market and preparing to
different professions, with a European
and international dimension. The whole
education program is completed by 6
PhD course and several first and second master courses. The University of
Tuscia has also become an important
cultural and educational partner of the
Italian Army offering a degree program
primarily aimed to educate students of
the NCOs School of the Italian Army and
the Air Force. The University particularly
cares the orientation service helping
students to choose their educational/
training programme, planning meetings
and joined activities with high schools.
Finally, the small dimension of the University allows a direct relationship between students and the teaching staff,
or accessing any other university facilities and services.

ERASMUS
INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY
PROGRAM ERASMUS+
tuscia.llpmanager.it/
The Erasmus+ Programme is an important opportunity offered by the University to any student. Going to classes at
a foreign university and taking exams
that are recognized and become an integral part of the student’s education
programme, or preparing the final, helps
young people to perceive and acquire the
European dimension. Erasmus+ is part
of the European Community programs
for the mobility of students among the
28 EU member states (Austria, Belgium,
Bulgaria, Cyprus, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Italy, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Por17
tugal, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden and Hungary), the countries of
the European Economic Area (Iceland,
Liechtenstein and Norway) and candidate countries (Turkey and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia).
Students can spend a study period
abroad (from three to twelve months),
while receiving have a monthly grant
provided by the European Commission.
It is an amount related to the hosting
country and calculated on the base of
the real period spent abroad. Grants are
divided into three groups of destination countries (defined by the European
Commission) according to the cost of
living; amounts ranging from a minimum of Euro 230 to a maximum of Euro
280. In addition there is a further financial contribution by the University (in
2013/2014 was Euro 142.00 monthly).
It is important (to score for the ranking) to have good skills in the foreign
language required by the university of
the hosting country: the Erasmus+ mobility must be planned attending language courses (external or within the
University) so as to acquire a certification useful for the mobility. Erasmus+
also includes a specific student mobility
for traineeship in enterprises, institutions or organizations located present
in one of the European countries participating in the program. In this case
the monthly grant ranges from 430 to
480 according to the hosting country.

The Department of Biological and Ecological Sciences
brings together a group of teachers whose background
and research interests deeply root in the areas of environmental science and biology; they do research
which stuck in the international study panorama and
with distinct characteristics of competitiveness. The
wide range of disciplinary skills and techniques of the
members of the Department has resulted in fruitful interdisciplinary collaborations, since the Department’s
foundation. The research objectives of the Department can be traced to two main areas, among them
highly interconnected.
Research in the environmental and ecological field.
They deal with the study and characterization, both
physical-chemical and biological, of marine and
coastal environment, inland water and terrestrial
environments, including extreme environments.
The specific research lines range from geology,
green chemistry, to fundamental and applied ecology, with action research, monitoring and management of environmental resources.
{
Research in the field of Biological Sciences. They
deal with the analysis of the genetic and molecular
mechanisms of fundamental biological processes
such as evolution, adaptation and biodiversity, origin of life, cell differentiation, nano-biotechnology,
epigenetic inheritance, immunity, biochemistry of
nutrients, mechanisms of carcinogenesis and neurodegenerative diseases, mutagenesis and toxicology, and -omics sciences (proteomics, metabolomics and lipidomics), extraction, synthesis and
biological characterization of natural substances.

The Department for Innovation in Biological systems,
food, agriculture and forestry is a multidisciplinary
research and teaching unit that aims to promote
scientific and technological innovation in agrofood, environment and forestry sector. They are
different disciplines but they share scientific
complementary and integrated approaches, from
chemistry and biology to food, animal, industrial
and environmental biotechnology, supporting ecosustainable management of biological systems, food
and forestry. The DIBAF is a hub for knowledge and
innovation, capable of tracing a path to meet the
environmental and global economic challenges, with
the ambition to contribute to the development of
a more ecologically and economically sustainable
society, with low greenhouse gas emission, based on
the use of bio-resources. Within the ANVUR report
2013 on the quality of research in universities and
Italian departments, the DIBAF w
has assessed fourth
out of over seventy agriculture and biotechnology
departments of all the Italian universities, including
the largest and the oldest.
The scientific objectives of the Department are
aligned with the strategic objectives of the University,
above all: the improvement of research quality and
excellence; the strengthening of the innovation degree
and technology transfer of scientific outcome with the
